At checkout, under 'How you'll pay', tick 'Apply gift card or Etsy credit balance'. It only works with shops that accept Etsy gift cards, as Etsy explains in its help article 'How to Redeem an Etsy Gift Card or Promotion'. ## Redeem an Etsy gift card step by step 1. **Sign in to Etsy** — You must have an Etsy account to redeem a gift card. Create one if needed. 2. **Redeem the code** — Open Etsy's gift card redemption page, select 'Redeem a gift card' and enter the code. A confirmation says the balance was added. 3. **Find a shop that accepts it** — Search, open All filters and tick 'Accepts Etsy gift cards' under Ordering options. 4. **Apply the balance** — Add an item to your cart and, under 'How you'll pay', tick 'Apply gift card or Etsy credit balance'. 5. **Submit the order** — Choose a shipping address, review and select 'Submit order'. The remaining balance shows at the top of the site. ## Which Etsy shops accept gift cards? Only shops that accept credit cards through Etsy. They show 'Accepts Etsy gift cards and Etsy credits' in the Payment options section of their Shop Policies. In the Etsy app, tap the filter icon after searching, open 'Other options' and tick 'Accepts Etsy gift cards'. If your balance does not apply at checkout, the shop probably does not accept it. Return to the cart and confirm the box under 'How you'll pay' is ticked. ## Can I pay part of an Etsy order with a gift card? Yes. If your balance does not cover the whole order, pay the rest with a credit card or PayPal, depending on the seller's settings. Apple Pay and Google Pay cannot be combined with an Etsy balance, because they take you to a checkout outside Etsy. Pick a card or PayPal for the remainder instead. ## Do Etsy gift cards expire? It depends on the currency. Etsy gift cards issued in AUD and EUR, excluding Austria, expire 48 months after purchase, and the date appears in the confirmation email. Promotional Etsy credit can carry its own deadline under the offer's terms. If Etsy says the card has already been redeemed, the balance is on your account and you do not need to enter it again. For other problems, use 'Contact support' in the Etsy Help Center. Our support team handles codes ordered from us at support@giftswithcrypto.com. ## Frequently asked questions ### Do I need an Etsy account to use a gift card? Yes.
